After Rena finished adjusting Zack’s tie, she turned around and was startled by the presence of the newcomers.
No one said a word for a moment.
Roscoe, trying to lighten the mood, finally smiled and asked, “Rena, is this your new boyfriend?”
Rena remained silent, but Zack beamed with joy and replied, “I’m with Miss Gordon every day. I pick her up for work, drop her off, and | even live in Mrs. Gordon’s house. And she bought me this lovely suit! Does that make me her boyfriend?”

A faint smile appeared on Waylen’s face as he puffed out a smoke ring.

Upon catching sight of Rena, Robert’s mother extended a cordial greeting towards her.
With a warm smile adorning her face, Rena presented a gift to Robert’s mother.
